"My God, how do you just shoot somebody and just go on?" asked Margaret Johnson, the victim's mother. "I don't understand it."

"And this is just a horrible situation across the board. Everyone in my family is distraught," said Sharon Johnson, the victim's sister-in-law.

Investigators say Johnson was shot as he stopped in the 900 block of Amity Street in Reading to ask a stranger for directions to a nearby bar.

Najeebie, along with two friends, fled the scene in an SUV, which later crashed into a fence in front of Elia Auto Body in the 1700 block of Kutztown Road.

Najeebie's two friends were hospitalized, but Najeebie was found dead at the crash site.

Loved ones say the holiday season will never be the same.

And the fact the killer still walks the streets has Najeebie's grieving family outraged.

"I try to deal with it the best I can, but it's no good for me," said Najeebie's mother, Margaret. "That's my baby. My baby's gone, and nobody's accounted for."
